Hi,
I am getting the following error when running StrainPhlAn 4. When running StrainPhlAn 3 on the same data there are no errors. Where could be a problem? What I should search for?

Hi @Nadja
I would need some more info to understand the problem.
Can you share the full command you are using?
Which database version did you use for running metaphlan and sample2markers?
Which database do you have currently installed?
I am getting the file with polymorphic sides, but then Strainphlan stops with the error message:
“Creating PhyloPhlAn database…[e] no sequences found, make sure the input folder/file provided is not empty”
After running with --debug option, I don’t see more output than running without.
The temporal folder has 3 folders: blastn (is empty), t__SGB6014 (is empty), t__SGB6014.StrainPhlAn4 (has files with sample_name.fna, that all are empty).
There is one more file in the temporal folder “t__SGB6014.fna”, is not empty, I will try to attach it here. t__SGB6014.fna.txt (24.2 KB)
The MetaPhlAn is installed as a singularity container on the server.
